Hello everyone. I have not written in quite a while, but have been designing and creating like crazy. I was laid-off from my full time publishing job in Boston at the very end of February and then a member of my family was extremely ill. I have been sketching and illustrating like crazy and have updated a lot of my designs on my textile page of this site. Due to my emotions of being out of work, I have been pouring my emotions into design. I have also been learning how to sew clothes. (My own designed, hand clothes will be coming this fall/winter - launching by October 2016). In the meantime, I have opened a Shopify website where t-shirts, tanks, bags, pillows and mugs that have my designs on them and be purchased. The website is www.shopstratchko.com. Be creative everyday! Have a great day! :)
